>I have a grid in which I want the user to be able to delete selected records, and I need the record to disappear from the grid. SET DELETED is on. The record gets deleted, but still it shows in the grid. I can even PACK the file, requiry, refresh, whatever, but I can't make the deleted record go away.

Try moving the record pointer after you DELETE. ALso, is this a private datasession? SET DELETED is one the commands that is scoped to a private datasession, fwiw.
